There is a need to restore water and food supplies. I was reading about what cutting off the electricity links and public health services will mean regarding disease. Many urban dwellers have a huge fear that, unless we get those grids back in working order, it will lead to diseases such as typhoid and respiratory infections, with an impact on public health. It has been well quoted that the collapse of services would lead to a humanitarian disaster. Many children are at risk from death due to malnutrition.
